PURPOSE:
Koury Ventures Limited Partnership has petitioned for annexation of their property located at 6029 YY West Gate City Boulevard. The City Council is required to hold a public hearing on this petition before considering its approval.
BACKGROUND:
This property is within the Tier 1 Growth Area (2013-2019) on the Growth Strategy Map in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use for this site is multifamily.
City water will be available by either connecting to the 16-inch line located in West Gate City Boulevard or the 12-inch line in Guilford College Road. In order for this site to be served with water, the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with extending and connecting to the public line.
City sanitary sewer service will be available by connecting to the 8-inch outfall located approximately 2,700 feet to the south of the site. In order for this site to be served with sanitary sewer, the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with extending and connecting to the public line.
The City’s Fire Department notes that this site is currently served by Pinecroft-Sedgefield Station #23 on Mackay Road (northwest) and upon annexation will continue to be served by Pinecroft-Sedgefield Station #23 (via contract) and City Station #10 on West Gate City Boulevard (north). Service should remain the same for single unit incidents and service should improve for multi-unit responses.
The Police Department can provide service with little difficulty.
Provision of other City services will involve a travel distance almost equal to that necessary to provide service to the previously-annexed property located to the east, north and west.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Initial service will be absorbed in the budget; future services will have an incremental effect on future budgets, including an estimated $2,398 dollars per year for police personnel and equipment.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommended this annexation to the Planning Board and to City Council. The Planning Board recommended this annexation at its June meeting on a vote of 7-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on July 17, 2018, the City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comment and to consider adoption of an ordinance annexing the above-mentioned property into the City of Greensboro.
